Writing update
April 13th, 2008 by MelanieI think I hate-love my editor for Dark Angel. I hate that on some things she’s right but love the results of my changes because of her suggestions. I tend to take her suggestions with an attitude, because she can be a bit snarky about it sometimes, which only serves to piss me off and make me resist.
What I’ve found is that if I give myself a day or two to put some distance between her words and absorb her meaning instead, it’s not so bad. I’ll get over it. I just tend to have a deep affection for this story and can’t stand to have someone really criticize harshly, or what feels harsh and suggest changes. That’s the problem sometimes–letting go.
Ah, well. If we want the story better, we have to learn to be objective and not fall in love too much with the words we’ve written.
So, new scenes, cut some old, and lots of line edits. In other words, some rewriting.
And for Dragon Prophecy, I’ll post another snippet later today and hopefully an update on the publishing progress. Stay tuned!
